I now have the Nauvoo temple done for Vinyl. This makes a great gift for someone getting married or sealed in the Nauvoo Temple. This can be sized to fit on a 12 x 12 tile or an 11 x 13 frame. We will personalize it to your order. To order, send me an email or you can also purchase from my Etsy shop.

Here is another customer picture. She was placing an order and had some extra vinyl. We had had them over for a bonfire and she had seen our hot dog sticks. She decided that would be a fun idea for Christmas presents for extended family. Here is how they turned out - CAute!

I thought I'd post a couple of pictures from a customer. The top pictures says "Faith makes things possible, not Easy". The bottom pictures says "With God all things are possible". Thanks for the pictures Steph.

This is a fun way to hang your stockings if you don't have a fireplace. Add this cute saying to a board with pegs or hooks and hang your stockings in hope Santa finds them and fills them with all sorts of fun things! This one fits on a 36" long board.

I can do these in a 12" or 24" length for $5 and $10 respectively. The vinyl can be removed after the holidays if you put it directly on the wall. Or add the vinyl to a hanging board or piece of tin. Hang with a ribbon on your front door.

I am really excited about this post. Several months ago I saw and idea using 4 x 4 tiles that pop into a frame and can be changed for different seasons, etc. I hadn't been able to find a frame that would work. Then a friend from church showed me a set that she had. She let me borrow it so I could figure out how to make the frames. Here is the set I came up with. I've got the tiles done. I'm still working on the frame. (I need to make a trip to my Dad's house for that for his expertise.) I haven't even figured up how much they cost to make, but I couldn't wait to post the tiles. I'll post more pictures with more details and info in a couple of days.

(PS - if this picture is fuzzy - I'll try to fix it another day - it won't load for me and it won't let me upload a new one - love dial-up internet.)

If you would like to order anything you see on the blog, you can simply send an email to caroll@thevinylexpress.com . Let us know the items you would like. We also do custom orders and group orders! If you aren't sure just what you want, we'd be happy to design something for you or help you decide on something "perfect"! We LOVE custom orders.

I like this one a lot. I think it turned out great. If you are interested in this wall lettering, you can purchase it here. This comes in two pieces, and as always, you can chose your color or colors (as shown in this pic).

Put it on a refurbished milk can of course! I have a customer from Connecticut who had a milk can she wanted to redo for her front stoop. She asked if we could do a monogram without the name to put on the front of it. I said "Of Course!"

She was nice enough to send me a picture. It turned out great - right? Thanks again, Liz.

The monograms can also be added to a tile and displayed in your home.

This is the picture that another customer from Ohio sent me of her tile. It looks great on the top of her cabinets. Thanks Laura!

We would love to customize your monogram. Our most popular size is 10 x 10 and runs $7.00, but we can size it to meet your needs. Just email for custom sizing and pricing. Here is our listing on our Etsy shop.

On May 8, 2009, the seniors at Marion C Early High School were all excited for graduation day. As they arrived at school to take the bus to their Senior Breakfast, they were ushered into the school hallways where they joined the rest of the students in a "duck and cover" while they waited out the tornado force straight line winds that tore through the town. When it was all over, the field house where they were scheduled to graduate that evening, had holes in the roof and inches of water covering the floor. Unfortunately, graduation had to be rescheduled and the gym floor and roof would have to be replaced. The booster club came up with an amazing idea for the floor. They decided to sell pieces of the old floor as souvenirs, as well as offer personalization for those who would like it. They are going to auction off large pieces representing various teams that played on the floor. Here are a couple of examples of the boards.

I had a custom order for a gal in Arkansas. She had some old windows that she wanted to turn into home decorations. She sent me a picture of one of the finished windows. It turned out great! She did a couple more for her parents and inlaws. I thought I'd share a photo that she sent me. Do you have any old items that could be upcycled into some amazing home decor? I'd love to help you with your vinyl needs!

This was a special order for a customer in Illinois. He was kind enough to send me a picture of the final product. He was happy with the outcome. I think it turned out great! Once again, a simple touch adds a big impact.

I thought I would share some of the recent custom orders I've done. These vases were done by Tisa Jackson. A talented crafter with a shop on Etsy. She requested a decal with her shop name to put on glass vases. This is what I came up with. They turned out great I think. We used a metallic silver for the vinyl and I think they turned out great. Check out Tisa's Etsy shop. She has some really cute items for sale including cards and mini clip board kits to use as birthday party crafts. Her shop http://www.tisascreations.etsy.com/

This window frame was done by a wonderfully talented woman in Canada. She wanted some quotes done for a couple of the projects she was working on. She also has a shop on Etsy. http://www.sempernova.etsy.com/ Here's what she has to say about her shop: " We rescue and restyle furniture and home decor that would otherwise be left for the land fill. Here you will see everything from unique window frames, interesting tables, chairs and stools and pretty much anything else we can salvage and reinvent into a beautiful new version of its original self." While Canada may be too far for you to go - check out her shop. You just might get some great ideas!

This woman wanted some vinyl done for her display backdrop. We worked up the flowers and lettering for her. It turned out great. http://www.thepolkadotdaisy.com/

Bright yellow to jazz up your windshield on your bright yellow car!!! She was very pleased with the way it turned out.

Another satisfied customer with the decal for his "Hog". This was a double layer decal. It looks great on the bike and the customer was very pleased with the results.
